Christians are under spiritual attack yet many are unaware that there is a powerful weapon of protection. Satan is on the prowl looking for those he can devour and Christians who do not have on the proper armor are an easy target for these attacks. In The Armor of Light, author Charles A. Ness shows fellow Christians how to protect themselves and their families by putting on the armor of light. Romans 13:12 instructs us to put on the armor of light; that is a covering of light imparted by the glorious presence of the Lord, acting as a shield of protection that is put on through prayer. You can experience a new level of spiritual protection and victory over evil when wrapped in Gods glorious light. Charles Ness has done the Anabaptist nation as well as the body of Christ a great service in writing that which the Lord has revealed to him about the armor of light! His biblical grounding and revelation of the armor of light will not only benefit and help many, but will bring breakthrough for all those who apply it in their lives. I found Charlies clear articulation, thoughtful exposition, and practical examples to be deeply valuable and insightful. May God continue to unfold his kingdom reign on earth as it is in heaven as we put on and walk in the armor of light. Noel Santiago, LEADership minister, Franconia Mennonite Conference It is obvious God Anointed you for this moment-in-time to share with us this high level message that is so applicable for mature Christians. Had I understood this message more fully in years past, I could have spared myself much trouble and heartaches. Ben Girod, Bishop, Amish Church

The long-awaited sequel to A Column of Fire, The Armor of Light, heralds a new dawn for Kingsbridge, England, where progress clashes with tradition, class struggles push into every part of society, and war in Europe engulfs the entire continent and beyond. The Spinning Jenny was invented in 1770, and with that, a new era of manufacturing and industry changed lives everywhere within a generation. A world filled with unrest wrestles for control over this new world order: A mother’s husband is killed in a work accident due to negligence; a young woman fights to fund her school for impoverished children; a well-intentioned young man unexpectedly inherits a failing business; one man ruthlessly protects his wealth no matter the cost, all the while war cries are heard from France, as Napoleon sets forth a violent master plan to become emperor of the world. As institutions are challenged and toppled in unprecedented fashion, ripples of change ricochet through our characters’ lives as they are left to reckon with the future and a world they must rebuild from the ashes of war. Over thirty years ago, Ken Follett published his most popular novel, The Pillars of the Earth. Now, with this electrifying addition to the Kingsbridge series we are plunged into the battlefield between compassion and greed, love and hate, progress and tradition. It is through each character that we are given a new perspective to the seismic shifts that shook the world in nineteenth-century Europe.

A Battle of Wizardy From a History Not Quite Our Own... GOD SAVE THE KING OF SCOTLAND The heavy summer air of 1593 is full of portents for Elizabeth, England's Queen, and James VI, King of Scotland. A coven of witches secretly controlled by the Wizard Earl of Bothwell has summoned a storm to sink the ship that bears James' bride to Scotland. Though the ship made port, the success of their summoning has emboldened them; the coven is now launching wizardly attacks on the King himself — and James is terrified. FROM SATAN'S WIZARD EARL The King has protectors — not least the Queen of England herself — but not even Elizabeth's secret service and her champion, the redoubtable Sir Philip Sidney, can be on watch every instant. Eventually a trap is sprung, and King James is at the mercy of the satanic Bothwell's deadly spells...

Through the Window of the Secret Place the King shows Seeker and his friends the Land of Darkness. They see a child called NoName who is being held captive by two terribly disgusting dragons: Anger and Abuse. The King gives Seeker the Armor of Light and sends him to bring NoName... out of the Darkness and into the Light! Suddenly, the air became cool, the sky darkened, and as if appearing from nowhere, the dragons came raging up the hill toward the two boys. And it was then that Seeker realized he had forgotten to put on the Armor of Light... The fiery green breath of Anger and Abuse smelled as though they had never, ever brushed their teeth and their breath burned Seeker's heart as they snarled past him toward NoName. They tightened the chains with a determined pull, and then, with terrifying fierceness, the dragons roared at Seeker. Seeker closed his eyes tightly and cried, "King! King, please help me! I’m so sorry for not putting on my armor..." “Then put it on now,” said a familiar voice. Seeker wheeled around in surprise. There, in the middle of the Darkness, stood the King.
